Unique OMEGA family of
high-temperature Types J, K, E,
or N thermocouples are doubleprotected with abrasion-resistant
Inconel® overbraid with hightemperature fiber insulation. A
temperature rating of up to 980°C
(1800°F) continuous service
and 1038°C (1990°F) short-term
service makes these products
ideal for many high-temperature
measurement applications. They
are unexcelled for profiling ovens
and furnaces. The 20-gage solid
conductor thermocouple wires are
insulated with braided ceramic fiber.
Over the ceramic fiber is a rugged
overbraid of Inconel 600—a tough,
high-temperature, high nickelcontent alloy.Five convenient styles
are available in 1 and 3 m (3 and
10') lengths for high-temperature
measurement applications.
A-35
Style 1
Style 1 is a grounded junction thermocouple with
the Inconel overbraid welded to form a smooth
rounded tip for all general purpose applications.
Style 2
Style 2 is a general purpose, bead welded,
exposed junction thermocouple.
Style 3
Style 3 is an exposed, bead welded junction
thermocouple with an Inconel collar to clamp the
probe to a surface, or to secure it into a hole or
any fabrication.
Style 4
Style 4 is grounded. It can be bolted to a
surface, or the Inconel eye can hook the
thermocouple to a conveyor flight. Ungrounded
units and special hole sites are available.
Contact Sales department for more information.
Style 5
Style 5 has an Inconel air hood to protect the
exposed beaded wire junction. This design can

be clamped to a surface, hooked to a conveyor
flight, or bolted to a surface by using the through
hole at the open end of the hood.
